Couple scoop $128m lottery after ticket error

A CENTRAL Kentucky autoworker is lucky he held on to the $128.6 million (€89.7m) Powerball ticket he bought on Christmas Eve during some last-minute shopping – after all, it was printed by mistake.

The Andersons said they didn’t initially believe they had won the jackpot after buying lottery tickets together for 12 years.

“We didn’t hit it, that’s not us,” Rob Anderson said he told his wife after showing her the winning ticket the morning after the December 26 drawing. “Something’s not right.”
